Snake Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Prominent Democratic activist Stacey Abrams this week came out in support of the measures, a sharp reversal from earlier hardline opposition to voting ID laws. Abrams suggested that widespread Democratic opposition to voting ID laws has been “one of the fallacies of Republican talking points that have been deeply disturbing.” “No one has ever objected to having to prove who you are to vote,” she said. “It's been part of our nation's history since the inception of voting.” In April of this year, Abrams claimed she was opposed to Georgia’s recently passed election reform bill due in part to the fact that it “requires that a voter has a photo identification or some other form of identification that they are willing to surrender in order to participate in an absentee ballot process.” Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, meanwhile, has also voiced support for Machin’s proposal, falsely claiming that he has “never been opposed to voter ID” and that he “[doesn’t] know anybody who is.” https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/top-georgia-democrats-flip-voter-id-amid-push-manchin-identification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morons… That's because of the bullshit the GOP pulled before. I had a photo ID issued by Pa. that required a background check and finger printing and wasn't allowed as legal ID. I really wonder why an adult that owns or rents a house, pays utility bills, has a bank account, owns guns, needs anymore ID than they already have, face it if you can do everything else in your life with the ID you have, why do you need a special one to vote? The GOP really backed off that in Pa. after they found it had a far more negative effect on their voter base than they originally thought.

Or my favorite, no in person voting at all, just send out ballets, and not even a witness signature required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People never received a random ballot, they got sample ballots with instructions and a form to fill out to get an absentee ballot and the absentee ballot definitely needed a witness signature.

We get ballots sent out automatically to any registered voter since they closed our precinct. Doesn't have to be requested, it just comes in the government mail. No signature required on absentee ballots due to covid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absentee ballot request needs to be made here in NH. They won’t send one if your not on the towns registered list. When received it’s filled out by the voter that’s registered. If your having someone do it for you you need an id and a sig and witness is required. We dropped ours off at the town hall and the clerk asked for a id. Voting in person requires an id and they check you off the voters list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that. I can't find any info that ballots were being sent out without being requested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, yet those who are not legal residents and cannot purchase a resident hunting license or register a snowmobile as a resident are allowed to vote. It is not the bulletproof system that MC would have you beleive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
